Description

The (Abstract-)CompareToValidator uses the Id as placeholder in the validation error message. In other validation messages (i.e. required) there is the label used as default and the id as fallback.

It would be nice to not have the technical identifier in the error message. Could be done with the following snippet (AbstractCompareToValidator, at around line 350):

Object[] args =

{ MessageUtils.getLabel(facesContext, uiComponent), value.toString(), (alternateOperatorName == null) ? nameForOperator(operator) : alternateOperatorName, foreignComponent.getId(), foreignValue.toString() }

;
